When trouble arises
COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM02494U)
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelet. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 50 miles (80 km) at under 18 mph (30 km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in
good condition.

chains to the towing eyelet.

cle body.
Vehicles without a smart key system: Enter the vehicle being towed
and start the engine.

tion.
